Week 7

Mon 10th Feb - Sun 16th Feb 2025

Tuesday 11th February 2025

Governance Workgroup

Narrative:

Low attendance at first, but people drifted in gradually.

We assigned some tasks RE the Q2 budget decision (publicity and context-setting material, admin such as drafting consent form, plus this WG's own budget and Q1 2025 report)

We discussed what context-setting material is needed, and realised that we need material aimed at WGs to help them formulate their reports and budgets, as well as https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fyZZLDqeeoDanbzyY7c9m7sy_hU5w9v5niuR4m521ms/edit?usp=sharing which is aimed at Core Contributors to inform them about the consent process.

We discussed how to fit the GovWG budget to our budget cap. We noted that because we have been operating close to the minimum level of activity that would be meaningful for the WG, there is not much room to make cuts. We are unwilling to reduce meetings, or to rely on Peter (who doesn't take payment) facilitating all meetings. We also noted that this discussion has a bearing on the question of WG minimum budgets, as outlined in the “Budget caps for Q2” discussion doc here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kVd_4Ih-lSdMoIcmVeOS3_H3aqOdnMmMG6o1WqGTx1w/edit?usp=sharing and we noted that the approach we decided on (using WG reserves to cover any shortfall, and stating on our budget sheet which items will be covered this way) is a useful approach and should be included in the guidance we are writing for other WGs.

We briefly discussed the 'DRAFT process for how to use the "New Ideas" budget' doc, but noted that there was not time to fully cover the issue. We briefly discussed the merits of a voting process versus a consent process for agreeing proposals to use the New Ideas budget. We agreed the proposed process will be finalised in the next Governance meeting on Thurs 13th Feb; and once finalised, it will be submitted as a Treasury Policy.

Discussion Points:

  • Publicity materials for Q2 2025 budget submission and decision process

  • Context-setting materials for the Q2 2025 budget process

  • Automation of process of calculating who is a Core Contributor

  • How to make cuts to the GovWG budget, and using WG reserves to cover any shortfall

  • Creating policy on how to use the New Ideas budget

Decision Items:

  • We agreed to write a context-setting doc for WGs giving guidance on writing their Q1 reports and Q2 budgets, It will be advisory only at this stage, and should suggest that:

  1. any WG that is unhappy with its budget cap should address this in its Q1 report, and demonstrate why they need more

  2. WGs should show in their budgets anything that they intend to take from their WG reserves

  3. Where relevant, WGs should include some sort of changelog from their previous Quarter's budget to show what they have changed.

  • [rationale] Because these things have emerged from Governance discussions over the Quarter, and we need to ensure all WGs are aware of them.

  • [effect] mayAffectOtherPeople

  • We agreed to cover any shortfall in our own Q2 budget by taking from our WG reserves

    • [rationale] Beause this is preferable to reducing the number of meetings, reducing payment for e.g. faciliattion and documentation (which, at $20, is already quite low compared to other WGs) or relying on Peter to facilitate all meetings.

  • We agreed to finalise the process for using the New Ideas budget in the next meeting (Thurs 13th Feb), and then submit it as a Treasury Policy

    • [rationale] so that it can be formally ratified, or not, using the established Treasury Policy process

    • [effect] mayAffectOtherPeople

  • As already agreed in a previous meeting, we confirmed that Core Contributor Criteria have been slightly changed

    • [rationale] to make time recognition stricter, and contribution cost reduced to a fixed 300 USD instead of 1,000 AGIX (to account for token price fluctuation)

Narrative:

Kick-off: The writers' workgroup weekly meeting kicked off at 3:10 p.m. Kenichi skimmed through the action items from the last meeting. The first item on our agenda centered on reopening the onboarding window for new people to join the workgroup; however, it would be possible if the AGIX token pumps.

Twitter Premium+: Following a discussion with the marketing guild meeting at 12 p.m. UTC today, we’re pleased to inform everyone that the video WG, marketing guild, and the writer's workgroup have reached a consensus on splitting the payment for Twitter premium. The WWG will send a share of $76 to Peter, while other workgroups follow suit to purchase the $229 yearly plan. Once we have successfully gotten X premium, the general monthly updates shall be the first piece that will be published there! Kenichi also mentioned that the long-awaited Twitter contest will be shared in the next meeting.

DRAFTs: In this meeting, Kenichi brought up the idea of using a spreadsheet for collecting article suggestions from the writers; he added that the sheet will enable us to track the draft's progress. Speaking of graphics, he added that the sheet will help the graphics team in creating graphics even before a particular draft is ready for publication.

Web3 publishing platforms: We welcomed Lady Tempestt, who has been away for a while! Kenichi briefed her about the Web3 publishing platforms that we recently launched (Mirror and CardanoSpot). He urged the workgroup members to also source platforms with the potential for success and showcase them in the meeting. Kenichi hinted that at come next meeting, we’d talk more about Mirror and how the NFT minting process will play out eventually.

Role document: Following a discussion at the previous meeting, Kenichi mentioned that the role document will be accessed this quarter; no penalties whatsoever! It will only help us to track all the writer's progress over time; plus, it’ll help the WG to make informed decisions going forward, such as if the workgroup needs to onboard new people or not!

Decision Items:

  • We have decided to create a spreadsheet where writers can upload their article suggestions. Moreover, this sheet will help the graphics team work simultaneously and in alignment with the content.

    • [effect] affectsOnlyThisWorkgroup

  • We have decided that three workgroups (video, WWG, and the marketing guild) will join forces to purchase the X premium plan.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this Gamers Guild session was to assign open departmental tasks, review ongoing workgroup and map creation updates, discuss minor budget adjustments, and touch on plans for an upcoming MeTTa bootcamp.

  • Working Docs:

Discussion Points:

  • R&D Guild Creation Reassignment:

Rebel volunteered to resume the R&D Guild build, previously unassigned due to scheduling conflicts. Slate agreed to provide the necessary documents and guidelines after the meeting so Rebel can begin work promptly.

  • Writers Work Group Creation Presentation (Kizzy, Devon):

Presented an early-stage building layout, including a reception area, meeting room, and multiple offices. Showcased NPC placeholders for core Writer’s Work Group members, though Gavina was noted as missing from the current NPC list. Plans to scale up the building so its size matches other guild buildings and refine interior furnishings accordingly.

  • Map Creation Updates (Kateri, Gorga):

Kateri showcased new pathways/roads between apartment complexes, addressing a prior issue of repetitive building placement. Slate requested a follow-up session with Kateri and Gorga to align small details (e.g., connecting roads and block transitions). Overall city layout is nearly complete, but final finishing touches and alignment remain.

  • Research Task on Metaverse Platforms (Gorga, Malik):

Currently absent; no updates provided. Slate reiterated that research on The Sandbox and Decentraland should be completed by the end of February.

  • Budget Discussion:

AGIX token price dropped ~20%, leading Slate to pause “Asset Creation” payouts temporarily. All other development tasks remain funded as planned, with minimal impact on ongoing builds. The Guild aims to keep some reserve for unexpected needs or expansions in the next quarter.

  • Quarterly Report Guidance:

Slate reminded each workgroup creator to prepare a short (30–60 seconds) video demonstrating their progress for the quarterly report. Mentors can help record these summaries if workgroup creators are unavailable.

  • MeTTa Coders Lab Bootcamp Gamification :

The R&D Guild and Education Guild plan to collaborate on gamifying a technical bootcamp about MeTTa language. Members can share ideas for a user-friendly, interactive course, e.g., quiz-based door passage or other creative mechanics in Roblox. Slate and Malik offered to run open calls on game creation so others can observe or contribute to design and coding.
